I came across this very interesting link yesterday from my twacquaintance @ProdigalJohn, who authors the fun site Stuff Christians Like. In a nutshell, the folks over at Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, for a cool $110, will be sure the pets of Jesus-followers are rescued in case of rapture! How about that?! Atheistic animal lovers will save your pets after Jesus comes back! I guess this answers the question about whether dogs go to heaven…
I have to say, though, I think there’s a philosophical problem here. To me, there are only two possibilities:
- These atheists aren’t atheists at all, but in fact people who really believe the rapture is going to take place, and thus who really believe this scenario could take place; or
- These people are thieves, just taking money for a service they won’t provide. After all, they’re sure there won’t even be a rapture. Right?
Here’s the seventh most-viewed post from my days at blogger, posted 22 October 2008.
Polar Opposites

Today I was in the drive-thru at Chick-Fil-A. I love me some sweet tea. Anyway, the decorations on the car in front of me caused me to chuckle. On the left side of the rear windshield was a small, rectangular bumper sticker. It read: “________ ________ Church: Passionate About Jesus!” (names removed to protect the innocent). Fantastic!
On the right side of the windshield was this large sign:
You can’t make this stuff up.
I thought to myself, I’m not sure how those two things go together. However, on my return trip from Portland, during my brief layover in Chicago, I took a picture of two things which go perfectly together:
Fannie Mae and the Cubs!! Two pathetic entities in hopeless slumps desperately in need of a bailout! (I know it’s not the same Fannie Mae, but humor me!)
Anyway, you’re not going to get me to say much about politics, but if you want to know how I feel about it, read my friend Andy’s recent blog.
